The transport of animals is only possible in exceptional situations (due to the small size of the vessels) – with prior consent from the captain. The same rules for transporting animals apply on the ships as in public transportation (leash, health check, muzzle). It is not possible to transport animals on trips with high occupancy, when small children or infants are on board, when other passengers do not consent, or when there are no conditions to ensure that the animal will not touch, rub against, etc. other passengers.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can you bring pets, such as dogs or cats, on the boat trip?
How early should you be at the pier before the departure of the boat trip?
Is there a parking area at the main pier located at Drulity 19, 14-400 Pasłęk Municipality?
At the main pier located at Drulity 19, 14-400 Pasłęk Municipality, there is a free, unguarded parking area for our company’s guests.
Is there parking at the dock located at Bulwar Zygmunta Augusta 11, 82-300 Elbląg?
At the dock located at Bulwar Zygmunta Augusta 11 in Elbląg, there are parking spaces available along the street, but their availability depends on the number of parked vehicles. If there are no available spaces, it is recommended to use the free parking lot under Podzamcze, located at Zamkowa 3-5 Street. After the cruise, you will need to walk to the bus or car, which takes about 10-15 minutes.
Do I need to reserve a spot for the boat trip in advance?
Yes, to ensure that a spot on the boat trip is available, you should make a reservation in advance – by phone at +48 507 400 220 / +48 515 773 307 or through the reservation form on the website rejsypopochylniach.pl. If you arrive without a reservation, it may turn out that there are no available spots, and in the worst case, the trip may be canceled due to insufficient attendance (fewer than 10 people). Therefore, it’s a good idea to make an early reservation to avoid disappointment.
Can I bring my own food, drinks, and alcohol?
Yes, you can bring your own food and drinks and consume them on the boat. Alcohol is also allowed, provided it is consumed in moderation so as not to cause inconvenience or disturb other passengers. It is important to maintain respect and comfort for other guests to ensure the trip takes place in a pleasant atmosphere.
What clothing is appropriate for a boat trip?
It’s difficult to give a clear recommendation about the appropriate clothing, as everyone feels temperature differently. However, for morning trips in May and September, which start at 7:45 AM, it’s advisable to dress warmly – we recommend bringing a jacket and a hat, as it can be cooler until around 10 AM. Typically, it gets warmer later, so you can switch to lighter clothing.
On rainy days, it’s a good idea to bring a rain jacket and an umbrella. Although most of the boat is sheltered from the rain, sometimes passengers voluntarily choose to sit at the stern of the boat, which is not covered (there are 8 such seats), so it’s worth being prepared for any weather.
